Selling

In summary, path 2 from Example 2.1 is the most attractive reaction path if there is a large market for hydrogen chloride. In practice, it tends to be difficult to sell the large quantities of hydrogen chloride produced by such processes. Path 4 is the usual commercial route to vinyl chloride. 

Another possibility to improve selectivity is to reduce the concentration of monoethanolamine in the reactor by using more than one reactor with intermediate separation of the monoethanolamine. Considering the boiling points of the components given in Table 2.3, then separation by distillation is apparently possible. Unfortunately, repeated distillation operations are likely to be very expensive. Also, there is a market to sell both di- and triethanolamine, even though their value is lower than that of monoethanolamine. Thus, in this case, repeated reaction and separation are probably not justified, and the choice is a single plug-flow reactor.

Introduction and Commercial Application JUe objective of performing appraisal activities on discovered accumulations is to reduce the uncertainty in the description of the hydrocarbon reservoir, and to provide information with which to make a decision on the next action. The next action may be, for example, to undertake more appraisal, to commence development, to stop activities, or to sell the prospect. In any case, the appraisal activity should lead to a decision which yields a greater value than the outcome of a decision made in the absence of the information from the appraisal. The improvement in the value of the action, given the appraisal information, should be greater than the cost of the appraisal activities, otherwise the appraisal effort is not worthwhile. 

If the distribution of gas in a country is run by a nationalised or state owned company, there is effectively a monopoly on this service, and prices for gas distributed through a grid system will have to be negotiated with the distribution company. If the market for distribution is not regulated then opportunities arise to sell gas to other customers and...

Chemists major task is to make compounds with desired properties. Society at large is not interested in beautiful chemical structures, but rather in the properties that these structures might have. The chemical industry can only sell properties, but it does so by conveying these properties through chemical structures. Thus, the first fundamental task in chemistry is to make inferences about which structure might have the desired property (Figure 1-2).

The facilities for experimental work were poor, with inadequate wet laboratory space. In our discussions, I mentioned to Kaprielian my interest in significantly extending my previous work into the area of hydrocarbon chemistry. I felt that by establishing a strong program of basic research and graduate education in hydrocarbon chemistry, USC could become a leader in this important field. Because the memory of the first Arab oil embargo was still fresh, this struck a chord with Kaprielian, who felt that he could sell my research interest to the trustees and establish a Hydrocarbon Research Institute at USC that could accommodate me, as well as other chemistry faculty members whose interests could fit into its framework. 

One of the major selling points of Q-Chem is its use of a continuous fast multipole method (CFMM) for linear scaling DFT calculations. Our tests comparing Gaussian FMM and Q-Chem CFMM indicated some calculations where Gaussian used less CPU time by as much as 6% and other cases where Q-Chem ran faster by as much as 43%. Q-Chem also required more memory to run. Both direct and semidirect integral evaluation routines are available in Q-Chem.

These kinds of stores carry hobby/craft supplies, gimmicky science fair projects, ant farms and a low assortment of basic scienceware products such as beakers, thermometers, scales, rubber stoppers and most of the basic chemicals such as acids, bases and solvents. These places are listed in the chemicals section of any big city s yellow pages and are relatively safe places to get most of the basic lab necessities. The drawback is that they are really expensive and don t sell very large quantities of any chemical. It is possible to have these places special order a needed chemical as long as it s not a controlled chemical. 

These places are also local businesses that can be found in the chemicals section of any big city s yellow pages except that these places have some big connections. By this Strike means that they are licensed distributors for some of the biggest chemical and scienceware companies and manufacturers. Those big companies would never sell a thing to a punk like you or Strike. Even if a punk like you or Strike was to present a fake business front or... 

Finally, if one simply cannot find the thing one needs then it s time to hit the bibles of industrial and commercial sources "Chemical Buyers Weekly", "Chemsource U.S.A." and the massive "Thomas Register". These three source books can be found at most libraries and contain the listings and services of just about every business in the country. No matter what the chemist needs, it can be found in these books. Even if it takes going one-by-one through the listings, Strike can assure you that the chemist will find what she needs and someone that will sell it to her. 

Since we re on the subject of clean water, this is as good a time as any to discuss what kind of water is used in all this chemistry. By clean water Strike means distilled water (dH20). All reactions are to use distilled water (dH20) only. All solutions and dilutions are to be made with dH20 as well. Distilled water sells for about 1 a... 

Now, the ethanol used is almost always anhydrous, meaning it has no water. The closest one can get commercially to anhydrous ethanol is Everclear which is 95% ethanol and 5% water (190 proof). A lot of chemical supply stores will not carry 100% (200 proo ethanol because it is a potable (drinkable) product. This means that they would have to get a liquor license or some other state permit to sell the stuff and that is a hassle that many don t want to bother with,... 

PHENYLACETIC AGIO Very important fragrance chemical. Only recently was it banned by the DEA. Fragrance companies still can t believe they cannot openly sell it. It makes up 15% of jasmine oil (very expensive). 

One final thought. Strike found that there are a lot of companies that do not sell sodium bisulfite (NaHSOa). In fact, a lot of companies list sodium bisulfite in their catalogs but tell the reader to see sodium metabisulfite instead because that is the only form of this compound they carry. In other words, a lot of companies sell sodium metabisulfite (NaaSaOs) as an acceptable alternative to the other. The Merck Index even says about sodium bisulfite that the [sodium] bisulfite of commerce consists chiefly of sodium metabisulfite, Nd2S20s, and for all practical purposes possesses the same properties as the true bisulfite". What this meant to Strike was that metabisulfite would work just as well. So some was purchased and tried. And it really does work just the samel... 

The catalyst needed is called sodium cyanoborohydride (NaBHaCN). It is not very common but there are few places that still sell it. It is very prone to take up water out of the air so the chemist makes sure that she doesn t leave it sitting out ail night. The method is simplicity itself. 

To make her own HBr solution the chemist needs to go down to the local specialty gas supplier. These sorts of businesses sell tanks of oxygen to hospitals, acetylene tanks to welding shops and, yes, HBr to underground chemists. The chemist places 200g of acetic acid in a small PP container or flask and then weighs the flask with its contents. Next, the flask is stirred in an ice bath tray that has just a small amount of ice to keep the contents cool and... 

Erythromycins from Streptomyces erytkreua strains are probably the structurally most complex of the best selling drugs. Erythromycin A costs only about 5 DM per gram. The two principal erythromycins A and B differ only with respect to hydroxylation at C-12.
